The Just Drive campaign from Idaho Power, KTVB-TV, Boise, the Idaho State Police and the Idaho Transportation Department isn't just a slogan to Zumbrunnen. She knows first-hand what happens when you don't put the phone down and just drive.

While typing a text message, she crossed Highway 55 in Boise into oncoming traffic.

"I was on my way to work, I took out my cell phone, and I wanted to say 'I love you, have a good day' to my husband," Zumbrunnen said late last year.

"I over-corrected, I lost control of my vehicle," she said. "I felt like I was in a washing machine. Then all of a sudden, I flipped and flew in the air. I felt my body flying in the air.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,328 people were killed and 421,000 were injured in distraction-related crashes in 2012.

Zumbrunnen took part in a Just Drive event at Idaho State Police headquarters in Meridian, and she watched people attempt to text and drive.

It was emotional for her.

"They lived my life, they drove around those corners really fast. I went in with one of the officers and it was a flashback for me," Zumbrunnen said. "Those kids got to experience what I went through. It's not easy to do, and so many things can happen in a flash."

She is spreading her message to as many people as she can through speaking engagements, and she's also sharing her story in a very public way, for all to see — a full-sized billboard featuring Zumbrunnen and her daughter reads: "Texting and Driving? Me too, before the crash."

Even though Zumbrunnen is regaining strength, she says her 8-year-old daughter, Valerie, is the person most impacted by her decision to text and drive that day.

"I miss running with her," said Valerie. "She used to play tag with me, do all that kind of stuff."

Zumbrunnen said, "It's hard, it's very hard and frustrating that I can't do that with her. Sometimes she's a kid and she wants to play tag like any other kid."

Zumbrunnen comes up with creative ways to play, but she's determined to play tag again one day.

"I've never thought I could get there, but I am getting there."

Zumbrunnen and Valerie are encouraging everyone take the Just Drive Pledge — to put away the phone and focus on the road.
